Willowshore

Founded ~90 years ago in 7020 to support a Sangpotshi Monastery, Tan Sugi Monastery, founded by a monk named Zhi Hui. He died 30 years later, and the town shifted focus to the lumber industry.

In 7062, approximately 46 years ago, woodcutters tried to harvest the ancient sugi trees that grew in the Monastery, and returned that night as undead. They were defeated by morning, but many villagers died in the struggle. This is remembered to this day as “The Night of Broken Blades.” The Monastery is now regarded as cursed.

While Shenmen was still part of the Lung Wa Empire, they were part of the empire’s lumber harvesting machinery. However, there was friction between the Lung Wa bosses and natives of Willowshore.

The Lung Wa Empire collapsed two years ago, after an unnaturally bad winter – but you know this mostly because tax collectors haven’t come in two years, and the lumber-lords have left town as well, both positives. Now you hear rumors that “jorogumo” (the spider folk from the Gossamer Mountains to the south that lay and incubate their eggs in other sentient beings) have taken over the province–but that can’t be right.
